What a crime it is for a man to grow old without having seen the strength and beauty of which his body is capable.

Hope…

Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength and your greatest weakness.

— The Architect, movie quote from The Matrix Reloaded

[Ironically, it is the Architect who is delusional about hope.]  <link>

Our weakness is the key to our salvation, not our strength (talents, etc.). In my weakness, God’s strength is made perfect. In my weakness, I can learn to pray like the Publican, while in my strength, I invariably pray like the Pharisee. Blessed are the meek.
